The employee said that his suspension violated company policy that no action could be taken against a whistleblower, adding that he would not receive any help from his supervisor or human resources as he did not have a good relationship with them have.

“As per the TCS whistleblower policy, no action can be taken against whistleblowers, but today I received a suspension notice. Some background: My HR and managers will not help me due to poor relationships,” the employee wrote.

The post received many responses from users offering suggestions for next steps that can be taken.

“Raise it on LinkedIn. Highlight senior Tata Group officials. (Not just TCS). This entire act is against the Tata code of conduct. “Spread this like wildfire on X, LinkedIn and other social media platforms,” one user wrote.

“Raise this issue with the TCS Ethics Committee. They will definitely look into it. When I was at TCS ILP, I remember there was an argument between the faculty and a member of our group. The faculty told the staff member that they would fail him in the final and they reported her to the ethics committee and a team came to the ILP center to investigate the matter,” another user wrote.
